Can't deactivate child lock on washer

I succeeded in activating the child lock feature on my bosch axxis washer, only to find that I can't turn the damn feature off (b/c the feature keeps one from pressing any buttons effectively or FROM EVEN OPENING THE WASHER when my load is done). Please help

1) Press the "menu" button until you see "CHILD LOCK :ON" appear in the display. ( if nothing is pressed within 10 sec.following this the menu will close and it will default to program in the display )

2) Once you see what I just mentioned in the display press the "select" button until "CHILD LOCK :OFF" appears in the display.

3) Finally by pressing the "start/pause" button the key symbol should disappear confirming you have successfully exited the child lock program.

Let me know if this was helpful to you or not, if so please take a second and rate it accordingly.

To unlock the washer press and hold 'dry' & 'spin' button. It should unlock now. If this doesn't work then press and hold "end of cycle" button for 5-10 seconds. However, if it is still locked then unplug the washer for 5 minutes and then plug it back. After plugging it back press and hold Start button for 10 seconds to unlock it. Hope this helps...

When activated all the buttons will be disabled and a child will not be able to alter any wash programme or option settings. Once selected this feature remains activated, even when the machine is ‘off’.To use this feature press the ‘Child Lock’ button and hold down for 2 seconds. The child safe icon will begin to flash. When the icon stops flashing the feature is activated. If any of the control buttons are pressed, the child safe icon will flash and the machine will bleep 3 times: no alterations to the control settings will be allowed. If power is interrupted, at any time, pressing any button will reactivate the child lock feature.To deactivate this feature hold the ‘Child Lock’ button down for 4 seconds. You will then hear a bleep and the child safe icon will go out.
If this is not the problem than turn off the AC power for 30 mintes and then power the machine back on an everything should be OK to use as long as no Error Codes are displayed.
